Energy Partitioning at the Termination Shock
Judit Szente, Bart van der Holst, Gabor Toth +1
We show new results of a global 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation of the Boston University outer heliosphere model where we used a newly developed approach that distributes t…
Cosmogenic 10Be as a Tracer for Recent Heliospheric Encounters with Interstellar Cold Clouds
Anna Nica, Merav Opher, Jesse A. Miller +2
Recent works suggest there are periods when the Sun encountered massive interstellar cold clouds which compressed the heliosphere to within Earth's orbit, exposing Earth to interst…
The Effect of Magnetic Field Dissipation in the Inner Heliosheath: Reconciling Global Heliosphere Model and Voyager Data
Sergey D. Korolkov, Igor I. Baliukin, Merav Opher
Global ideal magnetohydrodynamic models of the heliosphere typically predict a greatly exaggerated magnetic field pile-up in the inner heliosheath (IHS), the region between the ter…
On the anisotropic velocity distribution of newborn pickup ions in the heliosheath
Senbei Du, Merav Opher, Marc Kornbleuth
The evolution of the velocity distribution of pickup ions is crucial for understanding the energetic neutral atom (ENA) fluxes observed by Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX). Pi…
Earth's Mesosphere During Possible Encounters With Massive Interstellar Clouds 2 and 7 Million Years Ago
Jesse A. Miller, Merav Opher, Maria Hatzaki +2
Our solar system's path has recently been shown to potentially intersect dense interstellar clouds 2 and 7 million years ago: the Local Lynx of Cold Cloud and the edge of the Local…
Turbulence, Waves, and Taylor's Hypothesis for Heliosheath Observations
L. -L. Zhao, G. P. Zank, M. Opher +6
Magnetic field fluctuations measured in the heliosheath by the Voyager spacecraft are often characterized as compressible, as indicated by a strong fluctuating component parallel t…
